    PSUStudent replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

  7. Second Bachelors degree???

    PSUStudent replied to neva2late's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi. I am in a 2nd degree program and we only had 28 ppl in our class. It is very fast paced and challenging and for that reason I would probably suggest that you pursue getting your associates degree...

  11. Accelerated Program or not?

    PSUStudent replied to JonJon88's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    One other thought I have is that I think it needs to be a previous Bachalor's degree before you get into the accelerated BSN (I could be wrong though). I also agree with "Finally My Time" in that your...
